AN: Did you forget that we were even alive? It's 3 AM what am I doing changing the lyrics to Demi Lovato songs? ON TOPIC SAMANTHA! (just so you know I just spelled my name wrong, I fixed it but I need to sleep for a day.) It's been over a year since Krystle and I have written a fic together so I say it's about damn time right? So here is an idea inspired by Taylor Swift's "Back to December" with many influences from more of the Swift collection.
Krystle felt the need to correct the egregious wrong doing of Disney Channel and here is the result. Krystle's idea and my words:
Change My Mind
She said yes, I thought to myself. Miley agreed to meet me; the first hurdle was cleared. Next was getting her to listen. I parked my car behind the shiny red convertible that I knew to belong to Miley herself. I took note that no other car was present which meant that her dad wasn't going to chase me off the property. I breathed a sigh of relief even though I knew I didn't deserve one at this point.
I rang the doorbell and willed my feet to stay put and not turn back. I worked too hard for this to give up now. I could hear footsteps walking up to the door. I heard them pause and its owner contemplating on whether or not she made the right decision in allowing me to come by. A few seconds later the door slowly opened revealing, Miley Stewart, wearing a look that made you lucky that looks couldn't kill. It disappeared soon though as she invited me in.
She gestured to the couch and I took my seat. She sat on the opposite end of the couch. At first we said nothing; we did nothing until Lilly interrupted us. She and Oliver walked through the house glaring at me the whole time. I thought I heard Miley laugh a little but when I sneaked a peak her face was unaffected.
"We'll be taking a ride if anyone needs us," Lilly said loudly and then slammed the door behind her and Oliver.
I see Miley roll her eyes from the corner of my eye. I muster all my courage and speak the first word to break the ice that had long since frozen many times over since last December.
"So…how's life?"
She stares at me incredulously. I can tell that I threw her off, but I won't give up now.
"I see you've been keeping busy," I continue pointing towards the platinum album that was on the mantel behind us. I see a small smile begin to appear on her face before she stubbornly subdues it.
"The weather is nice today...I'd say Lilly and Oliver have the right idea going for a horseback ride."
"Is this what you wanted to talk about today? The weather?" She asks clearly upset.
"Well no but it's a nice start I'd say."
"Listen Jake, This is hard for me too. You broke my heart remember?" She says quietly.
"Of course I remember, I could never forget." I told her. I wanted to reach over and grab her hand and hold it in mine like I used to. I kept my hands in my lap though as I swiveled to face her.
"I wish I could take it back. That whole night where one selfish decision ended up hurting someone I love. I'm swallowing my pride and I'm here to apologize. I'm sorry Miley, you heart never deserved this. I never deserved you."
She stares at me blankly, but I've said what I had come to say. I get up and show myself to the door. My hand is on the door knob before she speaks up.
"Jake, before you go tell me this, was she worth this?"
"No." I all but shout at her.
"Just tell me why?" she asked me not bothering to hold back her tears.
"I can't. There is no why good enough to excuse my behavior. Even by coming up with a way wouldn't be fair to you. Again I'm sorry Miley."
She hangs her head and I take this as my cue to leave.
AN: Review? Please and Thank You!
